Key takeaways

Ivy Church's stated focus is Christian mission: it says it supports charities, churches and missionaries in Manchester, nationally and internationally, and its giving is directed to spreading the gospel, so a project should show a clear link to that purpose.
No grant range or typical size is published, so a modest, specific request is the safest starting point.
No application process is published, and the annual report, register entry and its website show only a contact for getting in touch, so write to that contact first with a short description of the work and how it connects to the church's mission.
Nothing published shows how competitive it is or when it decides, so treat the first approach as an introduction rather than a funded bid.
